Hey guys, been looking into building a dedicated cruncher and was wondering if building a dual cpu E5-2690v2 would be worth it today. looks like I could build it for under $800-$1000. 40 threads at 3.0Ghz... Anybody have a setup like this? Thanks.
I picked up 2 of these cpu's for $400.00 (for both) and a I9-10900KF is $549.99. Now I have a I9-9900KF in my gaming computer that is crunching now with all cores at 5.0Ghz. I believe the Xeon setup will out preform the my 9900KF but I could be wrong. I'll have this setup built in about a week and I'll post up the findings. I think it will be a good comparison for the money and be cool for a nostalgist piece. stay tuned!
